Tin

A brief segment in a Ken Burns TV special The War told of WW II scrap metal drives and how discarded tin cans were collected for the foundries that melted them down and gave them a new life on the war front. We kids scrounged for cans. It was our contribution to the effort. A great invention-the tin can. It ranks right up there with lard sandwiches, sliced bread, socks with elastic and the safety pin. The tin can didn't achieve notoriety instantly. It earned it the hard way. Today, we respect the tin can not only for its uncanny ability to keep our peaches mold free, but because of what a can can become once it is empty of its cargo.

Janice Schumacher was working at Ken's Shell Express about 10:30 a.m. Saturday when she heard a very loud noise. When she saw that a portion of the canopy had collapsed, she quickly got on the intercom and paged Kevin Fiedler, the general manager at Ken's SuperFair Foods. See Canopy, Page 3A Continued from Page XX The fascia and tin portions of the canopy came down all at once, Schumacher said. The steel framework of the canopy remained standing. No one was hurt, but a car was damaged.

Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme is a very intense treat for mangled cuticles. With the dry winter weather wreaking havoc on my skin, not to mention the year-round dish washing, this stuff comes in handy. It comes in a cute little round tin smaller than the top of a pop can. The second you crack it, a rush of tangy, subtly-sweet lemon bar aroma creeps into your olfactories. The rich salve is a bit sticky to the touch because it doesn't rub in right away, leaving a protective barrier between me and the moisture-sapping elements.

MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) — Two men have been arrested in Mitchell for setting off an explosive device made up of tin foil and toilet bowl cleaner. The Daily Republic said 19-year-old Ryan Kirkpatrick of rural Mitchell and 19-year-old Quincy Brech of Mitchell are charged with reckless burning or exploding for an incident on Main Street early Sunday morning. Police Lt. Don Everson said the reaction from combining the ingredients in a bottle can cause burns or shrapnel injuries.

The historic Commander Grain Elevator building in downtown Stillwater, Minn., is undergoing a major makeover and will soon reopen as a bar and cafe. The new restaurant will be called Tin Bins. The Stillwater City Council signed off on the restaurant's liquor license Tuesday, April 2. Tin Bins will be owned and operated by the five owners of the Dock Cafe. The building, which is owned by Dock Cafe co-owner Mike McGuire, formerly housed P.J. Asch Outfitters, which closed in 2009.

The Tonigan family had an emotional return to Aberdeen this week for the dedication of the Tin Man slide in the Land of Oz. The family put up most of the money for the slide, which was dedicated Monday. The Tonigans drove to Aberdeen on Sunday after flying into Minneapolis. Gardner “Butch” Tonigan said at the dedication that it was fun driving into Aberdeen. “As Dorothy said, 'There's no place like home.' ” Tonigan, 67, was joined at the ceremony by his sister, Carole, and their mother, Ruth.

Preparations have begun at Storybook Land for the arrival of the Tin Man slide. Director of Parks, Recreation and Forestry Doug Johnson said the construction going on is for the foundation of the slide. Safety material will also be placed underneath the slide, he said. The new Tin Man slide is expected to be delivered on August 20 with plans for it to be open to the public later that week, Johnson said.

Everybody knows the Tin Man had a heart. But this summer, area youngsters will be able to slide down his legs. The Aberdeen Sertoma Club is planning a new slide for Storybook Land that will be patterned after the Tin Man character. The shiny “Wizard of Oz” character will be sitting on the ground with his knees elevated in such a way that two slides will be incorporated into the Tin Man's legs. The slide will be 15 feet tall and 27 feet long. “So it's a good-sized structure,” said Bill Roth of the Sertoma Club. The Aberdeen Park and Recreation Board gave its approval to the project Wednesday.

Because the 19th-century Industrial Revolution resulted in new technology and the creation of a middle class, the invention of tin toys was possible and profitable. Earlier toys had been made of wood, fabric or ceramics. Tin toys were made in the early years of the 19th century in Germany, England and France. The J. Hess Co. was founded in Germany in 1826. Other German toy companies, including Marklin, Bing and Lehmann, soon started up, too. Tin toys were first made in the United States in the early 1830s.
